When I think about myself
I am caught.
It's like the moment
when you see
something impossible.
Before you look a second longer,
and it makes sense,
the trick the light has played.
It's that moment
I am caught in
when I think about myself.
Even as I see
how the shadows distort the shape
of who I am,
I still only see
the version of me
that isn't really there.
